At first glance, it may seem that Vanessa Haydock has type 1 diabetes all figured out. The behavioural analyst and health and fitness coach speaks of ‘dominating diabetes’, but it was her struggles to accept her condition and care for herself that have enabled her to help hundreds of others change their health for the better as The Diabetic Health Coach.<br /><br />Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a toddler, Lancashire born and bred Vanessa keeps it real - focusing on connection, community and education to give her clients ‘what she really needed when she was younger’.<br /><br />Having gone through every emotion it’s possible to feel in relation to type 1 diabetes, Vanessa shares how she went from denial to not only acceptance but empowerment and fulfilment. She also reveals the tools you can use to start building your own positive habits and self-confidence - just as long as there are no digestive biscuits! <br /><b></b><br /><b>CONNECT WITH VANESSA </b><br /><a href="https://diabetichealthcoach.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Visit Vanessa’s website.</a><b> </b><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/diabetic_health_coach_/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check out Vanessa’s Instagram.</a><br /><b></b><br /><b>JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 INSTAGRAM COMMUNITY </b><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/studiotype1on1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.</a><br /><br /><b>SPONSOR MESSAGE </b><br /><i>This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Insulet, the makers of Omnipod tube-free insulin pump therapy.</i><br /><br /><i>Using Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery has improved my diabetes management significantly with less diabetes decisions, and of course no multiple daily injections. </i><br /><br /><i>How?

Learning to accept and live with type 1 diabetes has not been a linear path in my experience. 29 years of life with type 1 diabetes and there are no hard and fast conclusions here, just a juicy subject to chew on for today's solo episode!<br /><br />I reflect back on my own journey to discuss how I’ve come to accept living with type 1 diabetes, what that looks like, the relationship I now have with type 1 diabetes and how that’s changed at different points in my life. <br /><br />I look at the definition of acceptance as it might relate to type 1 diabetes, as well as different keys, tools and perspectives I have that have helped me equip myself for this long and bumpy ride, and in particular the fork in the road that caused me to embark on a new, quite different road to acceptance - finally allowing type 1 diabetes to travel with me in the car! Buckle up, the analogy is strong...<br /><br />The inspiration for this episode was a conversation I had with Natalie Balmain on the Typecast podcast, which you can find here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6xbsZa948wKSoAFFHadivS?si=886470b1dc6b4f72<br /><br />This is the definition of acceptance that I mention, from Medical professor Jon Kabat-Zinn, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-second-noble-truth/201506/acceptance-it-isnt-what-you-think" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sourced via Psychology Today.</a><br /><br /><i> “Acceptance doesn’t, by any stretch of the <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/imagination" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">imagination</a>, mean passive resignation. Quite the opposite. It takes a huge amount of fortitude and <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/motivation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">motivation</a> to accept what is — especially when you don’t like it — and then work wisely and effectively as best you possibly can with the circumstances you find yourself in and with the resources at your disposal, both inner and outer, to mitigate, heal, redirect, and change what can be changed.”</i> <br /><i></i><br />As ever this is just my personal experience, nothing in the episode should be taken as medical advice and your first port of call for all things type 1 diabetes is your diabetes healthcare team. I hope you enjoy this one!<br /><i></i><br /><b>JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 INSTAGRAM COMMUNITY </b><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/studiotype1on1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/missjengrieves/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Find me on instagram @missjengrieves.</a><br /><br /><b>SPONSOR MESSAGE </b><br /><i>This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Insulet, the makers of Omnipod tube-free insulin pump therapy.</i><br /><br /><i>Using Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery has improved my diabetes management significantly with less diabetes decisions, and of course no multiple daily injections. </i><br /><br /><i>How?

Hannah McCook first hit a golf ball at the age of 6. With the Scottish Highlands as her course, Hannah’s talent for the sport soon became clear.<br /><br />In the confusion and chaos of a type 1 diabetes diagnosis at the age of 8, it was thanks to a single sporting type 1 role model, Sir Steve Redgrave, that she realised she didn’t have to give up her favourite hobby.<br /><br />Fast forward more than 20 years and Hannah is now an inspiration to many as a professional athlete herself, handling her type 1 diabetes alongside the golf course, a demanding travel schedule, training, coaching and international competitions.<br /><br />In this episode of Type 1 on 1 we tune into some 90s nostalgia around Hannah’s diagnosis, chat about why her touring bag is always the heaviest, chasing impossible perfection in both her sport and her health, and why, despite travelling the world with her sport, nowhere can compete with her beloved Nethy Bridge.<br /><br /><b>CONNECT WITH HANNAH </b><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hannahmccook29/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Follow Hannah on Instagram.</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hannahmccookgolfcoaching/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check out her coaching page.</a><br /><a href="https://www.hannahmccookgolf.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Take a look at Hannah's website.</a><br /><br /><b>JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 INSTAGRAM COMMUNITY </b><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/studiotype1on1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.</a><br /><br /><b>SPONSOR MESSAGE </b><br /><i>This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Insulet, the makers of Omnipod tube-free insulin pump therapy.</i><br /><br /><i>Using Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery has improved my diabetes management significantly with less diabetes decisions, and of course no multiple daily injections. </i><br /><br /><i>How?
